on webex meetings you can't really tell where any one is now can you, for all I know Gandalf and Frodo are on the call while flying over the shire....

So it was around 3pm (Monday) and a meeting request pops up. Easy I tell my self, open it, two attachments hmm...pdf- well we can read that. double click, takes a while to load up, double click the other one just so we can at least have a clue on what both are:

Document 1: - LLD from from cisco on UCS design
Document 2: - another one for the DCI - Data center interconnect.

Total: 220 Pages. Review and discuss on Tuesday.

Well my DC-fu sucks, rather sucked, my experience with NX-OS never went beyond me drooling over the boxes and marvelling and dreaming at all the adventures I'll have with the shiny box, and al those modules you can pull out on a nexus 7K....awesome...by the way if you did a data center before 2009, the skills are not transferable, so many changes in there, its all about virtualization now, many more services, fancy terms...aiyaiyaiii...

So yes I think I moved from novice to just about clueful in a month. Today we have a kickoff meeting where I'll try and show off all my wondrous knowledge in the hope someone decides Im fit to be let loose on the shiny boxes....Yes I managed to go through the documents at a price....Im still sleepy, coffee doesn't seem to be helping much....
